Decent laptop

[sprayer]

I wish to replace my laptop with a new one, But as I know next to nothing about them can anyone suggest one to buy, It would need to have lots and lots of memory (that's why I need to replace this one, it's almost full and running very slow) it would also need to have a CD/DVD burner as I tend to store lots of music and photo's,
By the way the price is not too much of an issue, but of course the cheaper the better.
any suggestions

A very open question but we've all been there. I found the best thing to do is decide on a budget and get the best you can for that price. So say it was �500 then, although that buys a lot of laptop these days its better than having no idea. Most will have a CD/DVD burner and so try to get the one with the most memory which is the most important thing in any PC or laptop. Don't worry one jot about the actual processor speed number - stick to any AMD or Intel dual core CPU and stay away from the more basic Sempron/Celeron processors (unless you really are not fussy, they are actually ok). Check that the screen size/quality is ok for you and the HD size is practical for you (don't pay extra for GBs that you don't really need - pay for the memory instead). Of course if memory, screen size, and HD size are ALL important then you may need to up your budget, and especially if brand name is important as well. The lesser brands such as Medion make good laptops these days anway though a Sony will tend to be better built and more stylish. That's very subjective of course so you have to decide for yourself. Finally, where to buy from. I like to see and feel before I buy then get it online. Last one I bought from the Dell Outlet which sells refurbs. Otherwise places like CCLonline and ebuyer.com com to mind, or even your local supermarket.. There's too much choice really.Hope this helps.

I'm guessing that by memory you mean disc space ?
so my first question is - do you throw your car away when the ashtray is full?

why don't you free up some space - buy an external hard drive (less than �100) or transfer stuff to dvd (15p per disc)

failing that ... can I have your old "full" stuff?
